Really good mouse here would recommend. Steel series is really well made

Love this! It’s perfect for my needs exactly what I was looking for!

This Aerox 5 mouse is really very lightweight, especially compared to a “standard weight” mouse. In fact, I thought at first that it might be *too* light to feel comfortable, but I quickly grew accustomed to it. The waffle-cut shell looks pretty cool, and I’m sure helps cut down weight. It also gives the moues a bit of texture, which is helpful because the plastic exterior is a bit slippery. Movement with this mouse feels fantastic due to the high-quality, super-smooth gliding feet and customizable DPI (which can be quickly toggled with one of the buttons). The buttons are satisfyingly “clicky,” and two of the side buttons (“forward” and “back” on the side) are very convenient. I personally found two of the controls (the up/down rocker, and the silver button, both on the side) kind of awkward to use. Thinking about gaming sessions, I’ll end up wanting to map those to something that could save a keystroke or two, but aren’t needed in the middle of fast-paced action. Battery life is also very impressive, especially given the aforementioned lightweight form factor. I haven’t had this long enough to drain the battery, but so far, it looks like I’ll be able to go quite some time in between charges. Also, the high quality cord provided allows for comfortable use while charging. It’s convenient that this mouse works via Bluetooth or its with own proprietary wireless dongle, but do note: when using Bluetooth, most of the custom settings are unavailable. Speaking of those custom settings, they are configured using SteelSeries’s GG software, which is loaded down with all sorts of features that don’t need (like recording and streaming gameplay, among others). I really would have preferred something lightweight like the mouse – just let me map the moues buttons and tweak the moues settings without all that other stuff. I’m impressed with the lightweight design, super-smooth gliding action, and battery life of this wireless mouse. The buttons are a bit of a mixed bag, and the software is functional but a bit annoying. Overall, I think I’ll enjoy using it.

The button placement on the Aerox 3 is clearly designed for someone with very large hands. Even holding the mouse as far forward as comfortable, it was still a stretch to reach the dront thumb button. The top thumb button is also a poor design and difficult to actuate. The mouse is also very creaky, with substantial flex on the left side and moderate flex on the right.

This mouse has worked extremely well. Its light and fast and charges quickly. The dual Bluetooth and Wireless works regardless of which device I have it connected to.

It is disappointing that I have to return this mouse after one day of use, because other than one MAJOR flaw, it is an awesome mouse. This thing disconnects mid use and blinks white repeatedly, meaning it has to be paired again. It does this about every 30 mins or so, which makes the mouse conpletely useless. If you don't believe me, google "Aerox 5 wireless connection issues" and you will see thousands of people having this issue. It is not a one-off issuez it WILL happen to you if you purchase it. Stay away from this mouse, as well as anything Logitech, they also have connection issues. You will not have these issues with Razer.

It’s ok. Not the best. Has bad battery life compared to the Logitech mouse, and also looses connection t times when wireless.

I don’t even know how people use this thing with a palm or claw grip. (Know it’s not made for a palm grip) It is so flat, it’s impossible to grab it. Also felt sort of cheap, not for me. Get a gpro x super light. I’ve used viper ultimates and the super-light. This thing is like paper with no grip

Terrible mouse, scroll wheel started acting up within a few weeks. Mouse is also basically impossible to take apart without breaking something in it (seriously, look up a teardown vid on it).

Wireless quit working after 3 months, doesn’t really matter I guess since the battery lasts 2 minutes anyway. Don’t buy.

This is the best gaming mouse out!!! Hands down!!!...

Switched from a crappy razor mouse. This is poggers.

Mouse stopped working after less than a week, it would not connect to the wireless dongle or Bluetooth.

Lighi play a ton of first person shooter gamea and so far this mouse has allowed me the precision needed t gey an edge on my competitors. The rgb lights are a nice added touch. I am usually pretty standoffiah when it comes to wirless mice but this one has been absolutely amazing.

This SteelSeries mouse is one heck of a wireless mouse! It's darn near perfect for gaming and is, to me at least, a comfortable mouse to use for long term gaming. Ergonomically it fits rather nicely in my hand and after a few long term gaming sessions doesn't leave my hand feeling that cramped feeling many mice do. A full charge has lasted me about a week between charges. It only takes a couple of hours to fully charge up. Typically I'll leave it charging overnight and then it's good to go the next day. The build in lights add a flair to it that you might find in a wired mouse which makes this a nice bonus. The hardware buttons add a level of customization that I for one enjoy. Game play is great! For a Bluetooth mouse there is no lag or hiccups at any time. Tracking is smoothe and the lightness of the mouse makes it feel like an extension of your hand. The build material feels much more premium than one would expect from such a device. As far as a gaming mouse goes it's hard to beat this combination of build quality, performance, and looks!

I personally own FINALMOUSE PRO TENZ, GPW, VIPPER. And I can tell you very responsibly that this is the worst one among a bunch of competitors, worse than G502. The asymmetric design makes your two fingers on the right have to be placed together in a very uncoordinated posture. This is the worst point of the whole mouse, not to mention that a mouse can be heavier than GPW after making a hollow design.

Not as good as I expired to be for the price. I wish the buttons ha Ali it raise to them on the side and that there was no opening on top

Way to light for my liking, and not the best quality, in my opinion.

The SteelSeries - Aerox 5 Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse has quickly become my favorite mouse! It feels great in the hand, is well-made, has a cool look, and the mouse buttons are firm enough so that my resting fingers don't make accidental mouse clicks! The accidental mouse clicks are a problem for me especially the right mouse button, and with this mouse I can rest my fingers and the buttons don't accidentally click. The mouse scroll button has a nice firm tactile feel to it. The mouse is pretty lightweight (74g), but has enough weight that it feels nice while moving the mouse around the mousepad. On the top of the mouse just above the scroll wheel, there is a button to quickly change the DPI setting of the mouse. This works great when you want more precision or more speed while moving your mouse. Makes it super easy to switch between the different speeds. In total there are 9 programmable buttons. The mouse has programmable RGB lights on the bottom of the mouse. The back 2 lights provide most of the visible lighting that you can see through the exposed mouse electronics and the clear plastic area on the back underside. I'm not quite sure why they put the 2nd set of lights further up the bottom side and didn't extend the clear underbody portion to that area as the lights aren't very visible even through the exposed areas on the top of the mouse. Seems like they could've left these 2 lights out of the build and it wouldn't have made much of a difference visually. Would've improved battery life too, in my opinion. Speaking of battery life, I find with these type of RGB gaming mice that I've owned, the lights really decrease the the time between charges you'll need. I was able to get about a day and a half of play time before it was needing a charge using the default settings. What is nice, though, is that you can continue using the mouse while it's charging with the included mouse charging cable. It does recharge quite quickly too. You can always disable / adjust the RGB effects for longer battery life using the SteelSeries GG software that you get on the SteelSeries website. It allows you to program pretty much every aspect of the mouse from lighting, CPI levels, sleep timer, illumination dimmer, acceleration / deceleration, and button mappings. You can create as many profiles as you like with different settings and also assign them to each game in your game library. There are apps you can download and configure like PrismSync that syncs the RGB across your different SteelSeries devices, Discord for different effects based on events in Discord, etc. The mouse offers 3 different ways of connecting, which is really nice! It's got Bluetooth, 2.4 Ghz with the provided receiver, or wired while charging with the provided 6' mouse charging cable. Just switch the selector under the mouse depending on how you want to connect it to your PC. The exposed design might be a concern for some, but SteelSeries has put in AquaBarrier tech that is IP54 rated for water resistance and protection from dust and dirt, so if you accidentally spill something into the mouse it should be protected. Overall a great RGB gaming mouse!

Was an okay mouse. Just didn't fit well enough in my hand. Ended up going back to the areox 3
